Hi there, I have a 6months frenchie. On Sunday he ate half a mini corn on the cob. Looked to have chewed it up a good bit though. Monday morning he puked up

You have basically two options. Corn cobs are usually visible on X-ray, so you could head to the vet and figure out if there are any big pieces left. Or, if Bear is otherwise happy, eating, and active, you can continue to monitor. If he ever starts vomiting, stops eating, or becomes lethargic, it’s time to head to the ER vet immediately. Best wishes to you and Bear!
